DCWD Advisory

Davao City Water District has to reimplement the 12-hour rotating water supply schedule in Cabantian Water Supply System (CWSS) starting at 6:00 PM of March 10, 2018 due to sudden drop of water yield of all production wells serving CWSS. This scheme is to fairly distribute the limited water supply while DCWD is working on interventions that will improve the water yield.

Under the 12-hour water supply scheme determined according to area elevation and water pressure, the areas are divided into two schedules with one group receiving water supply anytime between 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM and the other group anytime between 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

DCWD general manager Engr. Edwin V. Regalado said that the 12-hour water supply scheme would have to be put in place until the water yield of the production wells improve to a level that will again allow for 24 hours water supply in Cabantian WSS. He apologizes to all affected customers and assures that DCWD is doing all interventions to restore normal water supply.

DCWD continues to augment water supply in Cabantian WSS by a minimum of 800 cu.m. per day by ferrying water from its Dumoy WSS to Cabantian WSS reservoir through water tankers. Preparations are also being done for the rehabilitation of wells to increase their water production capacity particularly Cabantian Production Well No. 1. (Jamae G. Dela Cruz)
